Bubble Flower and Leaves

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the Bubble Flower and Leaves dies by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Bubble Flower and Leaves, CZ Little Banners Basics

I had some fun playing with the dimension on this one. Some of the leaves were left open while others were popped up. I also added some subtle blending to the leaves and blooms for more color.

For the sentiment I used the CZ Little Banners Basics with Shimmer Vellum and Matte Gold cardstock and for the embellishments I used some clear gem stickers.

Concord & 9th April Release

Hi there! Today I have several cards to share featuring the gorgeous new April Release by Concord & 9th. In addition to the release is a new color launch with six fresh colors that mesh perfectly with the rest.

I’ll start the introductions with my favorite from the release…Pattern Play. This set stole my heart from the get go. You can build and mix and match colors and shapes for endless pattern making fun. For the card on the right I used the Hugs & Friend die for the sentiment and the card on the right uses Paper Posy for the sentiment. HERE is a video showing the Pattern Play bundle.
